In the US its a descriptor that refers to the lowest economic class, usually minorities or people who are viewed as dirty and lazy. Being “on wellfare” is to boomers a single step up from selling your body for drugs.

I’m guessing this doesn’t include expenses like rent and maintaining a vehicle necessary to have that unskilled job in places like America?
